Okay, so here's my ideas on the typings for the starters and the two version mascots, based on the names and what they look like. I'm probably going to get proved wrong with each of these, but nyeh

Yveltal: Dark/Flying. The reasons being that, when viewed from the back, he's basically jus' a big bird, so Flying is a must here. Next, his name looks to be the Y of the version he's in, combined with the words evil, which is commonly accosiated with being or allying with Darkness, so Dark type. It is also, according to Bulbapedia, combined with the word Quetzal. A bird. So flying type, obviously.

Spoiler:Plus, here is the Quetzal.

Xerneas: Normal/Grass or Normal/Multitype. It is basically a deer, and if you look at other well-known mammals turned Pokemon (Bouffalant, Stantler, Sawsbuck, Kanghaskan, you get the point) they are all Normal type. It's name, again, according to Bulbapedia, may be derived from Cernunnos, a horned god of nature, and is seen accosiating with animals. Moar Normal type malarkey. Nature relates to Grass of course, though that's the single typing I'm not sure about tbh, tis just guesswork. Considering it's name is derived from zela horned god, if you think back to Arceus, which is basically a Pokemon god, it was Normal type too. It was able to change it's typing however, and had 4 diamond things on the ring around it it's body, where the plates to change it's type go. Xerneas' horns are the same colour-scheme...ish, and both have the diamond stuff going for it. So yush, I feel it may have the gift of Multityping.

Froakie evo's: Water/Flying. We've been told it's Water, so that's easy to guess It's name sounds like both a combo of Frog and Croak but also Froth, relating to the wispy stuff around it's neck. Froth is just a mass of bubbles in or on a liquid. Bubbles are basically water aroun' air. Air, or wind, is basically Flying type. The frothy neck stuff also reminds me of clouds, again relating to flying (Thundurus, Tornadus aaand Landorus are prime examples).

Fennekin evo's: Fire/Fighting. Don't hate me xD I say it's Fighting since it's name is derived from a Fennec Fox. Which are able to jump really far and high. Yes, I believe Fennekin's third evolution is some kind of weird Kangaroo thing.

Chespin evo's: Grass/Rock. Derived from Chestnut. I say Rock due to nut's obviously not being the most breakable things in the world, and because it's also supposed to be based on a Hedgehog. If it's third evo rolls up like a Hedgehog, I can imagine it looking just like a nut. A rock hard nut.

I also just realised this, each of them are super-effective against one of the other with each of their typings. Water/Flying beat Fire/Fighting, Fire/Fighting beats Grass/Rock, which can beat Water/Flying and such. Interesting...

That's all folks. Does anyone agree, or have any crazy ideas of their own to share?

Fennikin won't be a fighting type. If you saw the trailer it used a pink move which makes it Psychic I guess.

I've always thought of that as a move along the lines of tail-whip and stuff tbh. And some Fighting types can learn Psychic moves. Gallade can learn Psycho Cut for example Er, and ignore the fact that the only example Pokemon I could think of is part Psychic.. xD

That's cause Gallade is Fight/Psychic.
